The importance of a UV Clarifier or what is commonly called an Ultra Violet Pond Light for your pond is the secret to having nice clear water. During the summer months when the sun shines a lot and things heat up, algae becomes a problem in your pond.
You may think that putting chemicals into your pond might work, however I don’t recommend them. The best and the fastest way to get rid of the algae is with a UV light. It’s unbelievable how well they clear your pond water up. It’s very simple the way they work.
UV clarifiers are simply a plastic tube that contains an Ultra Violet light bulb inside of it. It will have an intake and an outtake. All you have to do is attach some kind of pump to push the water through it and as the water passes through it, the Ultra Violet light kills the algae. Usually within a couple days you will see your water getting clearer and clearer, when eventually, you’ll be able to see the bottom of your pond.
If you’re struggling with green pond water, I highly recommend getting some kind of UV Clarifier. They come in both submersible and out of the water models. I have used both kinds in the fifteen years that I have had my pond and they both work well. Find out more about Ultra Violet Pond Filters. Bob
